Plastic bottles can be hard to clean, but if you are interested in recycling them, they have to be
cleaned out. Fortunately, there are quite a few quick and easy ways to clean plastic bottles. The
methods here are useful for not only cleaning out disposable plastic bottles, but also for cleaning
Thermos containers, baby bottles and any other plastic bottle you care to reuse.
- Purchase a good bottle brush, the type that is used to clean baby bottles. There should be a larger brush on one end and a smaller brush on the other.
- Place some baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) and hot water inside the bottle and let it sit and allow the bottle to rest for several hours.
- Shake the bottle to further work the soapy water around the bottle. Pour out the soapy water and rinse the bottle several times until the soap bubbles are gone. Wash and rinse the outside of the bottle as well and carefully clean out the bottle cap.
- Allow the bottle to dry completely before putting the cap back on. Bottle driers are available commercially, and are very useful if you find that you must wash bottles frequently.
